Dear Queen of All Hemispheres,

It's one-twenty in the morning; tired of the long journey from my hut in the mountains of Minas Gerais to here in São Paulo, I opened your post, I didn't stop until the end and after reading the ones you recommended.

How disrespectful of you!

Your photos are very good and beautiful: I'm going to download some, including, of course, mosaic by diego rivera. Thanks!

"the n’s are for: north, north. recently, and i ascended to regal status. she is the queen of the suddern hemisphere".

Thanks for mentioning Raine Lore; I only met her by you here; still, to me and for now you are the queen of north, south, east and west; once I read more about her, maybe I'll change my opinion.

Kurt Vonnegut, I adore this genius, in my opinion, one of the greatest in literature.

Bokonon’ (“happy to be any vonnegut character,” he answered)

I would also love to be one of his characters!

Saramago, "a veces, all at once", does not use capital letters, commas, periods and semicolons...

"'Professor Kerpotkin"

Maybe keratin shampoo on the skin, stolen from his wife...

"i broke my little finger playing volley tennis in high school. that is why i donnae use the caps key😁".

I didn't break any fingers, but I only know how to use my two index fingers, the others are useless, they just scratch their balls; I use capital letters like all the keys, looking for where they are, making mistakes, correcting again, a struggle, but I manage to write my blatherings.

"i lost interest in medium. there were too many stories about 'how to make $$$'. i thought it was a 'free press'".

Perfect comment!

"i came back about a year ago and posted a rant about a proposed slaughterhouse in my neighborhood".

I didn't leave, even though I knew I wouldn't earn anything here on Medium; but, yes, slaughterhouse five is yet another Vonnegut masterpiece!

Thank you and, as many times as necessary,

Congratulations Ann!
